CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 209

A company recently acquired a number of sites and no documentation was provided. A network administrator needs to identify and document all of the digital assets in use. Which of the following is the best method for the administrator to use?

Answer options

• A. Availability monitoring
• B. Packet capture
• C. Physical inventory
• D. Network discovery

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best method in this scenario is Network discovery, as it allows the administrator to automatically identify devices and services on the network. While physical inventory is useful for tangible assets, it does not help with digital assets, and availability monitoring and packet capture are not focused on asset identification.
